"Xbox 360 has sold more than 66 million consoles and that Kinect has sold more than 18 million sensors around the world."

They say sold. Now obviously some will still say that is shipped but realisticly you have to say chances of their being 1.6m 360s on shelves (considering last year was just 800k) and over 3m Kinects on shelves is very very unlikely. Which would probably indicate vgc numbers are out. Which is fine as it has happened many times before. I don't understand why people get so heated/shocked when it happens.

On a side note i wonder if that also means Kinect software sales are a bit out. Maybe those dance games did better then we thing.

Last year they said the same thing, Sold over 50m, (people took it as shipments) when it actualy sold over 50m, and shipped 50.8m. Wonder if that's the exact same scenario today

No need to wonder, it is.
